But the vets are the glue.
Hold Dawn's puzzle together.
'Bout time the glue got its' due.

Last time so get the wax out.
Yesterday: Unseld/ Grosso at U of L.
Today: Elem Ibiam/Alaina Coates at USC.

IMO AW-a tad low. Second-best all-around player in the college game behind Stewart(UCONN).

EI-about right. Why? Can't teach size/height. Doesn't have to handle the ball to score. Improved every year. Good defender, rebounder, shot-blocker. Versatility-Will swing from pivot to power forward in the pro's. And remember she got her stats playing half a game last year.

Elam at 3 is a big stretch but then again if she improves this year the way she has year to year since her freshman season, she's going to be pretty special. I just don't think Top 5 special. Aleighsa seems about right. If you could combine her skills with Elam's height she'd be #1.

That speaks to our future with Alaina. EI was a very solid player last season - gave excellent effort, never hurt us when she was on the court, and executed very well. No reason to believe she won't produce at the same (or higher) level this season. She's tall and good. That's why she's projected where she is. Alaina will be a high pick when it's her turn too.

Agree with everything you said. Just interesting that a player who's never been on an All-SEC team is #3 on the draft board.

No . Two in the first round would be . 2002 Shaun Gortman was drafted in the first round (#9) and Teresa Geter in round 3 . 2003 Jocelyn Penn was drafted in the first round (#9) and Petra Ujhelyi in round 2 .
